How to make the clock sync automatically after suspension of a Virtual Machine

  • 772

I run Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as a guest OS on a VMWare Player machine over Windows 7. I have the clock displayed in the panel and the location set to my time zone. Occasionally, I close VMWare Player using the VM -> Power -> Suspend menu. When I turn the Ubuntu on again, the clock is no longer in sync with the real system clock.

How can I make the clock to auto sync when the system is resumed from suspension?

suspend

    I believe this is a function of the open-vm-tools package. On the guest VM:

    sudo apt-get install open-vm-tools
